President Roosevelt tells William Bayard Cutting to go ahead with his application for a position in the diplomatic service, although he wishes that Cutting was a convinced Republican. He will be pleased to appoint Cutting if there is an opportunity to do so, but he cannot promise anything because there are many other people with whom he has ties that must be considered. Roosevelt asks whether Cutting has seen James Rudolph Garfield, as he would prefer if Cutting was able to work under Garfield rather than going abroad.
